I love how well the non-vintage bottlings from Ployez-Jacquemart evolve with bottle age. This particular bottle of their Extra Brut Rosé had been in my cellar for two and a half years and was absolutely singing when opened on Christmas Eve. The complex and utterly vibrant nose wafts from the glass in a blaze of white cherries, tangerine, chalky soil tones, rye toast, smoke and a touch of clove in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, crisp and absolutely wide open, with a lovely core, very refined mousse, excellent balance and grip and a very long, complex and focused finish. This bottling was lovely on release, but the extra bottle age has allowed it to blossom fully and the wine is drinking with great style today. Age your non-vintage bottlings!

Minerally on the nose and silky in texture on the palate, this plush Champagne features bright acidity and notes of macerated cherry, honeyed almond, blood orange peel and hints of toasted brioche and nutmeg. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged December 2021. Drink now. - AN

The NV Brut Rose Selection is an intensely mineral, chalky Champagne. Medium in body, the wine reveals excellent length, if not quite the inner perfume and richness of the very finest NV roses. Still, this should be delicious with food, where the wine’s energy and vitality will be particularly appreciated. Disgorged: March 20, 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. - Antonio Galloni

The NV Extra Brut Rosé is an intriguing wine. Rich and vinous in texture, the Rosé has quite a bit of depth and plenty of Pinot character that emerges over time. The Rosé is perhaps a bit burly, but that won't be an issue at all at the dinner table. There is plenty of personality. Disgorged: September 09, 2020. -- Antonio Galloni
